Personally I'd like to see the standard library get smaller rather than larger. There's a whole lot of bit rot in there, and since sys.path prefers the standard library over anything else it's a really huge pain to integrate patches on a faster release schedule than Python's while remaining sane at the same time. -bob _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
